What Sets This Gold ETF Apart

most of the gold ETF investments that are out there are just pure long exposure to gold.

So, which is great if that's, you know, what you're looking for.

Um, when gold is going up, that's a wonderful thing thing to hold.

Um, but the one thing that, uh, it doesn't do is produce income.

No, most most gold strategies, whether it's gold futures or physical gold bars, you're not going to get dividends out of that.

So we actually invest uh part of our uh assets in uh options on top of our gold futures positions which allows us to generate uh income in in most months um occasionally options strategies can go against you but on average and looking back in time um that that generates income which we then distribute on a quarterly basis.

So one thing is you know right in the name as you mentioned is is the dividend income.

So for investors looking for a little income along with their gold, that's one option.

The second thing it does is uh when gold is is really on a tear, uh we'll probably underperform uh just because gold is is going straight up and we are selling options on that and that can lose uh maybe a little bit relative to gold.

Uh but that's if it's a really strong, you know, up move over a short period of time.

If gold is steadily climbing, then those options should produce some income on top of the gold investment. if gold is topping out like it is well I'm sorry I don't mean to say it's topping out but it is at all-time highs as you mentioned and when people come become concerned about that what happens if gold goes sideways the strategy should keep producing uh some income that'll offset uh either that sideways market or any declines that materialize.

So um as investors want to keep their exposure to gold but maybe uh continue to earn income and maybe mitigate against a little bit of draw down this might be a strategy to consider.
